This exceptional result demonstrates our expertise in securing maximum compensation for the most severe birth injuries. Complex Birth Injury: The case involved a child who suffered cerebral palsy as a result of obstetric negligence, with complications arising from perinatal stroke that significantly worsened the severity of the brain injury and resulting disabilities. Perinatal Stroke Complications: Perinatal stroke occurring around the time of birth added significant complexity to the case, requiring specialist medical evidence to establish the relationship between the obstetric failures and both the cerebral palsy and stroke complications. Severe Disabilities: The child suffers from severe cerebral palsy with profound physical and cognitive impairments requiring 24-hour care, extensive therapy, specialized equipment, and comprehensive educational support throughout their lifetime. Expert Medical Evidence: The case required evidence from leading obstetric, neonatal, and stroke specialists to establish that the birth management failures directly caused both the cerebral palsy and contributed to the perinatal stroke complications.
